Don’t waste teaching time on manual rolls

Orah captures student arrivals via kiosks, QR-code scans or NFC checkpoints to complete attendance automatically.

No more chasing teachers to complete rolls

Orah has always handled roll completion reminders automatically. Now since attendance is updated automatically, fewer reminders are needed.

Keep records accurate, respond to emergencies faster

Orah use routine school processes to ensure attendance & location data is logged in real time, so you can start emergency responses with real-time visibility

Students check in‍

Students scan the QR code on their ID at the classroom kiosk. They instantly see they’ve been marked present.

Records update automatically‍

Attendance is logged in real time. If a student hasn’t checked in after the preset threshold, they’re marked late.

Teachers stay in control‍

Teachers can still adjust the roll, see who isn’t expected (e.g. sick or excused), and manage exceptions quickly.

"Every student is checked in physically, seen by a mentor and marked present. It’s critical for student safety, but also for peace of mind. In a community this diverse, knowing where everyone is at night is non-negotiable"

Simon Ramsay

Head of Residential Life

“We are all about teaching the whole student, having one system where everyone is on the same page—boarding, day school, parents, faculty—helps us do that.”

Jennifer Guarino

Director of Residential Life

Campus safety loves being able to see, day by day, how many students they anticipate being on campus

Rochelle Karakey

Student Systems Analyst

It was pretty seamless. Within three or four weeks, we pretty much had everybody taking attendance in Orah.

Nicole Jules

Assistant Head of School for Student Affairs

"Excellent software and system that fits in very easily"

Andrew Ottaway

Head of Economics and Business

The checkpoint kiosk has provided a professional way to manage the sign in/out of the pupils and staff, which supports the safeguarding of pupils. The system is very easy to use, allowing proper management of access.

Anna Kempster

Head of IT Systems

"Empowering all adults with a digital platform to instantly update information about student location has increased our ability to know where students are. This has been the most helpful in terms of increasing communication and capacity."

Allie Maxwell

Director of Residential Life

"We implemented Orah in the middle of a school year and were up and running within a few days. Our staff were trained in a day and the students found the system extremely user-friendly and easy to navigate."

Matthew Gerber

Director of Information and Education Technology

"We have greatly appreciated the simplicity that Orah has provided in helping us create a safe and healthy campus."

Marcia Yochum

Dean of Students

"I don't think you can look a parent in the eye and say 'we are doing everything we can' if you don't have Orah on your campus. There is no better way to keep track of students on and off campus in our modern age."

Andrew Wright

Director of Residential Life

"If we don’t know that our students are safe and they are where they’re supposed to be, then we can’t really do anything else. Orah has made that part of our job much more efficient and much more sound."

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of each product plan?

Is there a free trial available?

Yes! There is a free trial available for many of our products, to set one up, you must first book a demo with our team to assess our fit for your school, then we can help to setup your trial.

How quickly will we see results with Orah?

It depends on the product and your school's appetite for change. Attendance Insights & Alerts can be operational within a few hours depending on which Student Information System you use. Orah's Student Location products require some systematic change, but most schools report strong positive feedback from staff within the first 2 months of making the switch.

For our Behavior & Well-being products, and in particular, schools implementing Mood Checks, we're seeing meaningful results within the first 2-3 weeks.‍

What hardware do I need?

All Orah products can be run on any device with an internet browser connection.
The Orah Checkpoint App requires an iPad running on iOS 10+ for automated student check-ins.

Is there onboarding and implementation support?
